My husband is an engineer. Since we met，he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet　 __36__　 planted on the ground，and it seemed that no matter what else went　 __37__，he would be the constant one.

Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel　 __38__　 of him because he never brought me flowers，he never　 __39__ me，and nothing had changed in our marriage.

After　 __40__， I finally told him I wanted to be　 __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__　 to say to make me stay. Finally，he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__？”

“I'll stay if you have a good answer　 __44__　 this question，”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a　 __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me　 __46__　 certain death，would you still do so？”

His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning？” With that, my heart　 __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer　 __48__　 away.

The next morning，I found he was　 __49__. However，I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes　　 __50__　 misty(湿润)as I was reading it.

“Dear，I'll give you my　 __51__.

After you do typing for a long time, I need my　　 __52__　 to do it for you.

Every time you leave the house，you forget your keys. I need my legs to run　 __53__　 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...”

With tears　 __54__　 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you　 __55__　 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.

　There is a story of a country where the rate of inflation（通货膨胀率）is so high that clever people pay for a taxi ride before the trip instead of after. This story may or may not be true. But inflation was almost that serious in Germany from July 1920 until December 1923. Prices went up so fast that by the end of 1923 they were 50 billion percent higher－a rise of almost 25000 / 40 a month.

　　There was so much paper money, and it had so little value, that people carried bags full of money around to pay for things. One woman told the story of standing outside a shop with a basket full of 500 000 mark notes（马克）. She wanted to buy just one piece of meat, and she hoped she had enough money. But when she was looking, a thief robbed（抢夺） her. He didn't take her money, though, he threw it away and took the basket in stead.

　　At first workers demanded to be paid every day. But as the situation be came worse, they had to be paid twice a day. But they had to run out and spend the money at once, or it would lose its value. People bought anything that was for sale, but food was almost impossible to find. Farm workers re fused to take money. They wanted to be paid in potatoes instead.

　　New policies（政策）ended the inflation in 1923, when the government introduced a new money. But about half of the German people lost every thing in those three and a half years.

　　　 The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”

　　　 Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．

　　　 Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．

　　　 It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes．

　　　 Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．

　　　 When the day arrived, I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day．

52.　　 According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is 　

________．

　　　 A. find the right methods　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. be careful about everything

　　　 C. know your ability　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. have a clear goal

　　　 A. wander like a sleepwalker

________．

　　　 A. he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel

　　　 B. he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal

　　　 C. he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
